if you don’t keep up with the youth i want you to know they’ve renamed “tramp stamps” to “cake toppers” which feels like the first advancement for feminism in a long time

This is something I've been saying for ages re: how centrists treat the left. If left-wing positions aren't popular enough to win elections, then left-wing voters can't lose an election for you. If left-wing voters can tip an election for you, their positions need to be accommodated.

for Q3: • private equity and venture capital execs • Jake Auchincloss and Seth Moulton, the two worst MA representatives • Charlie Baker against Q3: • Progressive Mass • Ayanna Pressley • Ed Markey as I've said before, even if I knew nothing else but who's on which side, that'd be enough. No on 3!

Kind a niche question, but do I know anyone else who uses Flighty? Do you want to be Flighty friends?

My “2026 Flighty Passport.” It shows flights stats for 2026, including my 38 flights, 75,923 mi, 7d 13h of flight time, 4 airports, and 2 airlines. A photo of my fiancée and me on an airplane is superimposed over the top right of the image.

2 things, in ascending order of importance: 1) Polls are Possibility but they don't vote; don't stop working. 2) El-Sayed has Massive support in a mid-west rust-belt state while vocally supporting transgender kids & adults/directly Dismissing claims that trans people are "dangerous."

This is "the hill I'll die on" because it's the only hill left to me. When every party wants me dead, fighting for my life is treated as a thought experiment worth shaming me for. Fuck that shit and the fascists who frame it that way.

You do not need to explain, to Queer or Black or Disabled people in America, that you can't always have a perfect thing. That is not news to us. You are not providing new information. It is the height of arrogance to assume that's not already part of our understanding of the world.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

My partner sometimes uses a cane, and thanks to her encouragement, I now own a couple and use them gleefully whenever I even think it might be helpful. It’s a game changer, and it’s wild how I use to gate-keep and disability-shame myself.

Help a girl understand a thing? A friend of mine recently said, out loud, with his words, “I don’t use dating apps. Instagram is my dating app.” And, like, I need someone to explain how that works? I’m not even that interested in dating right now, but I am totally baffled by this idea.

It’s not a thing I talk about, but there are absolutely times I wish I hadn’t come out, had stayed in the role of a cis, straight, Mormon “man” in an unhappy monogamous marriage. I was pretty miserable, but I had a script to follow, and there is comfort in a script, however unhealthy.

Your reminder that in all the discourse about the DSA wins last night in NYC and the reaction of the "centrist" Dem establishment to them, none of those "centrists" are coming from the moderate middle ground they're claiming to and you shouldn't ever concede them that rhetorical self-validation

I know I keep circling back to this, but I don't think k a lot of well-meaning people realise how much it rankles when the response to Harry Potter funding trans genocide is a focus on "what to read instead to be a Good Person" rather than, I dunno, more directly helping combat the trans genocide.
